Harry Potter encounters the Mirror of Erised twice in his first year at Hogwarts. And although it reflects one’s deepest desires, the mirror also reveals much more about Harry’s character and the wizard he will later become…
哈利 波特在霍格沃茨讀一年級的時候曾兩次邂逅厄裡斯魔鏡,儘管它反映的是一個人內心深處最強烈的渴望,魔鏡同時也體現了哈利的性格以及他將要成為的那種巫師……
encounter 作動詞和名詞的意思都是 遭遇;邂逅;拓展短語:encounter group 邂逅團體:會談時通過自我表達、衝突及肢體接觸等來培養自我意識和相互理解的一組人;例:A man in an encounter group has been making vaguely negative statements about his father. 一個男人在會心團體中對他父親做了曖昧的消極表達。
What does Harry see in the Mirror of Erised? Unlike his friend Ron, he doesn’t see a successful future, but an unreachable past. In the mirror, Harry encounters the Potter family for the first time in his life. Most prominently he sees his mother and father smiling down at him and it is this that is 『nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire』 of young Harry’s heart.
哈利在厄裡斯魔鏡裡看見了什麼呢?跟他的朋友羅恩不同,他並沒有看見一個成功的未來,而是一個不能到達的過去。在鏡子裡,哈利第一次看到了波特家族成員。更重要的是,他看見他的父母朝他微笑,而這正恰恰是小哈利內心深處最強烈的渴望。
unreachable 不能得到的;不能達到的;例:They can go beneath the ice, and then to hibernate as the ices closes in, until we need them to carry out their research in unreachable areas. 它們能潛入冰層下面,然後結冰時就進入冬眠,直到我們需要它們在無法到達的地方進行研究。
